WebVM lets you run a full Linux system directly in your web browser without needing a server. It uses a special engine called CheerpX to safely run unmodified Linux programs by converting x86 code to WebAssembly. You get a real Debian Linux environment with many tools, and it supports networking through Tailscale VPN, so your browser VM can connect securely to the internet. You can also customize and deploy your own WebVM easily using GitHub, making it great for development, testing, or learning Linux without installing anything. This means you can have a powerful, private Linux machine anytime, anywhere, just in your browser[1][2][3].

Compose Multiplatform is a Kotlin-based framework by JetBrains that lets you build user interfaces for multiple platforms—iOS, Android, desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), and web—using mostly shared code. It is based on Jetpack Compose for Android, so you can use similar APIs across platforms, speeding up development and ensuring consistent UI design. iOS support is in beta, web is in alpha, and desktop and Android are stable. You can also access native features like camera or maps easily. This helps you save time, reduce bugs, and create apps that work well everywhere with less effort.
